Performs a bitwise exclusive OR on two expressions.
Syntax
result = expression1 ^ expression2
Parameters
result
Any variable.
expression1
Any expression.
expression2
Any expression.
Remarks
The ^ operator looks at the binary representation of the values of two expressions and does a bitwise exclusive OR operation on them. The result of this operation behaves as follows:
0101 (expression1)
1100 (expression2)
----
1001 (result)
When one, and only one, of the expressions has a 1 in a digit, the result has a 1 in that digit. Otherwise, the result has a 0 in that digit.
